The Altogether Lovely One

SONG OF SOLOMON 5:16 "THE ALTOGETHER LOVELY ONE"

* Note v.10 - Jesus Christ is the Chiefest of ten thousand! * No one else can compare! * No equal.

* Among men ... Conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin, an earthly mother and a heavenly

Father! * Among other Gods ... Jesus resurrected!

A) Among friends ... Jesus is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother! * Jesus gave His all!

* He left the beauty of heaven and came to earth! * He wore a crown of thorns so we could wear

a crown of life! * He walked up Calvary’s road so we could walk on streets of gold!

B) He was crucified on a cross and died so that we might live!

* He was treated unjustly so we could be justified! * He went to hell so we could go to heaven!

C) No comparison! * When you see great men of the Bible you see their strength & weaknesses!

* But when you see Jesus ... all strength! * No weaknesses in the Son of God!

* "I find no fault in Him!" * When you look at Jesus you see the Altogether Lovely One!

* When you look at Jesus you see the chiefest of ten thousand!

D) Before Calvary, during Calvary, after Calvary, He is the Altogether Lovely One!

* When you look at us we have a good side and a bad side!

* But no matter how you look at Jesus, He is beautiful from all sides! (His scars)
